she is
the girl standing under
an old buzzing streetlight,
waiting for the beggar-woman
to return her purse after she'd
been asked for change.
"change, the world needs it."
she'd said, and with the flash
of a shy dimpled smile,
offered the contents of her bag.
away with the money
the old lady had ran, leaving
her to stagger under the weight
of a heart that is
completely

selfless

First poem in my 'story', a collection of short poems called Straight Edge.

NOTE: Kinda sorta modeled after some of the poems in Ellen Hopkins book, Identical. I like the idea xD
